Subcategories of Architecture of Personal Intrest

Interior design-  is a spatial art and environmental design form and practice. It is the process through which the interiors of buildings are designed, concerned with all aspects of the human uses of structural spaces. Median annual wages of wage-and-salary architects were $70,320 in May 2008. The middle 50 percent earned between $53,480 and $91,870. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $41,320, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $119,220. Those just starting their internships can expect to earn considerably less.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_architecture).

Landscape architecture- is the design of outdoor and public spaces to achieve environmental, socio-behavioral, and/or aesthetic outcomes. It involves the systematic investigation of existing social, ecological, and geological conditions and processes in the landscape, and the design of interventions that will produce the desired outcome.

The last three images kind of represent what I think are substantial changes in architecture through history.

Architectural technologist- is the profession also known as a building technologist is someone that provides building design services and solutions. They are trained in architectural technology, building design, and construction. An architectural technologist usually is the overseer of the construction of a building. An architectural technologist is able to start with a building concept and fully follow it through to it's completion.
       I am most interested in being an architectural technologist because it is an exciting thing to take an idea from your mind and see it brought to life by your instruction. I feel as though my talents are suited for this particular job description because I am creative and can handle leading employees through the construction process. I think that an architectural technoligist is a kind of jack-of-all-trades sort of person and is a higher level employee which I like.
       The schooling required for this falls into three categories: education, experience, and examination. To start with an architect has to enroll in an architectural university which will require 4 to 5 years to complete. Then, most aspiring architects take on an internship for about two years to get experience in the world of architecture. After the internship, all architects have to undergo the ARE (architectural registration exams) to acquire their license. Once an architect has their license they have to be admitted to a firm. Once in a firm an architect usually starts at a low rank moves up the business ladder. A school with an architectural major in landscape architecture, environmental design, and architectural technology is Virginia College. I am not sure whether or not I want to attend college for architecture, but this is a possible example of a school i would go to.
